Home Hospital Instruction

1.Home/Hospital
instruction is available to students who are temporarily unable to attend
school for an estimated period of four weeks or more due to physical and/or
mental disability or illness. The four-week minimum period of absences may
occur over a block of time or intermittent. The amount of time the student may
be absent from school is determined by a qualified medical practitioner, and
must be stated on the form. H/H services are not provided during school
vacations and will not exceed 18 weeks.

2.Parent notifies
the school nurse or counselor that his/her child will be absent from school for
a period of four weeks or more, based on doctor’s orders.

Important Notes:

Providing H/H services is a
limited and temporary intervention designed to help students keep up with
critical subject coursework. It is not designed to deliver a full week of
instruction at home or in the hospital. Many subjects cannot feasibly be
tutored such as vocational classes, electives and performance based classes.
Each classroom teacher will decide which assignments/content be completed at
home or in the hospital.

If you require assistance or
have questions, please contact the Special Services Department at 360-629-1236.
